In every marriage there’s the sprinter and the marathoner….in our case the ultra runner (who’s definitely under training right now). Erik is a sprinter through and through - he’s a baseball guy at heart….I’ve never been fast but always good at suffering to go far.
Bless this man. He never minds trying to keep up. He constantly tells me to keep going, to not worry about him, to run my run.
It’s easy to get jealous, to feel resentful, to get competitive and let it cause friction in a relationship…but not here. Not with him. I’m the competitive one but it’s never out of anything but genuine drive to keep up.
It’s not lost on me how lucky I am that my husband supports me through and through - and it does nothing but strengthen our marriage. I see way too many stories out there about unsupportive spouses.
This one’s for all you husbands & dads out there doing the most so your wife can be her best.
